LISTEN: Revolutions In Music: 50th Anniversary of the Rolling Stones' ‘Let It Bleed’

Throughout the 1960s, The Beatles and the Rolling Stones battled it out for chart supremacy, and Mick Jagger and Keith Richards always had John Lennon and Paul McCartney within their sights.

The year of 1969 saw yet another of their battles for the top of the album charts.

The Beatles released Abbey Road and the Stones forged ahead with their doom-laden, political masterpiece Let It Bleed.

Recorded in the shadow of the Vietnam War and the death of guitarist Brian Jones, the Stones knocked the Fab Four off of that coveted top slot.

This fascinating documentary contains contributions from Mick, Keith, manager Andrew Loog Oldham and the Stones' biographer Simon Spence. Also journalists Will Hodgkinson of The Times and Simon Cosyns, editor of Something For the Weekend in The Sun.
